At 7.03am Bates allegedly writes to Dank about a supplements regime for someone called "John" who "seems happy to be guided by us".

"I think I would start with PRP and AOD."

PRP is Platelet Rich Plasma which is injected into the muscles to treat injuries, while AOD is an anti-obesity drug.

PRP was removed from the WADA banned list in 2011 while the anti-obesity drug believed to be involved is not approved for human use.

The text messages go on to name several players and supplements that were at least considered for use.

On January 9, Dank asks: "Did you get on to Mark Jamar?"

The answer was yes.

On January 30, Bates asked: Do you have the times for the injections tomorrow?

Dank names seven players and appointed times.

Bates: "Fantastic mate."

On the same day, Bates allegedly tells Dank: "Mate you have some amazing knowledge that has always stacked up with evidence from external sources. I am frustrated that we are not further along at Melbourne but you can see from the list for tomorrow they are all getting on board. We can continue to develop things at footy but I think we can really do some stuff with the cells. Dan."

The first treatment detailed in the texts was on December 12 for Melbourne co-captain Jack Trengove.

Dank: "When will we start Jack Trengrove (sic) on the AOD?"

Bates: "Tomorrow. Where can I get him to pick it up from?"

Dank: "The pharmacy. Tell him to ring me and he can meet me there."

A day later Bates is purported to ask Dank "when can we book guys for the injections".
